There are 11 current WSL players in the running, albeit Alexia Putellas and Mapi Leon made the cut for their exploits playing at Barcelona while Manuka Matsukubo impressed at North Carolina Courage before joining Chelsea.

  • Mariona Caldentey (Arsenal/Spain)

  • Kerstin Casparij (Manchester City/Netherlands)

  • Alex Greenwood (Manchester City/England)

  • Yui Hasegawa (Manchester City/Japan)

  • Melvine Malard (Chelsea/France)

  • Khadija Shaw (Manchester City/Jamaica)

  • Mapi Leon (London City Lionesses/Spain)

  • Alexia Putellas (London City Lionesses/Spain)

  • Manaka Matsukubo (Chelsea/Japan)

Scotland captain Caroline Weir also makes a strong case after starring for Real Madrid in the 2025-26 season, while the list has six further contenders from Barcelona, who romped to the Women's Champions League this season.
